Durham Women are delighted to announce the return of Irish midfielder Dee Bradley.
Bradley has joined the Blues on loan from Burnley until the end of the 2025/26 season and becomes our first signing of the winter transfer window.
The midfielder initially joined Durham in 2021 after studying in America at Old Dominion University.
Bradley went on to make 96 appearances for the club, scoring a number of crucial goals, including a header in our 2-2 draw with Manchester United in 2021.
Impressing Carla Ward, Bradley received her first international call up to the Republic of Ireland squad in the summer.
Speaking after sealing her return to Maiden Castle, Bradley said: “It feels good to be back home and be with my people.
“Circumstances change all the time, but I’m really happy to be back where it all started and hopefully help when and where I can.
“I haven’t said this in a while, but up the duzza!”
